Bayonetta VS Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2: Pamphlet de Fighting!
Gameplay? Graphics? Sound? Who cares! Let's see which one has the better retail pamphlets.

PlayStation 3 will be getting two of the hottest action games ever next month. Opening the month on October 1 is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, an updated port of Xbox 360's Ninja Gaiden 2. Closing the month on October 29 is Bayonetta, which will arrive simultaneously on the 360.
You may already have your preference for which is the better game (although unless you've been to a major game event like E3, I don't see how -- Bayonetta hasn't gotten its promised demo yet). Now, take sides in a battle far more important than gameplay, graphics, and sound: retail pamphlets!
Here's the Sigma 2 pamphlet that's now in retailers:
The cover page notes that the series has sold 7.7 million units total. There's also info about the pre-order bonuses (the guide book and costume download) and the ninjagaiden.jp official site, including those very, very special movies.
The second page has details on the game, including sections on "breathtaking detailed graphics," "high speed action that surpasses action," "four playable characters," Team Missions, Chapter Challenge, facing off against giant enemies, and Ninja Records. In the middle, the series' catch phrase: For all those who love action games.
Now here's the Bayonetta pamphlet:
Let's see… you've got a nice shot of Bayonetta's back on the cover with text describing the genre as "Infinite Climax Action" genre. We also see character profiles, background story, and a look at the Rodin's Selection soundtrack pre-order bonus.
Surrounding the artwork of Bayonetta and her demon possessed hair, we see sections titled Bullet Arts, Wicked Wave, and Torture Attack.
So now you've seen the retail pamphlets for Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Print out your favorite and use it to help promote these two killer action titles.

Im buying both of those!! I can't stop playing Sigma 2 demo.
If you can please let us know how the ps3 version of Bayonetta plays...

I'll try and compare the two at TGS. One of my friends (he did impressions for 1up) said that the PS3 version is lagging visually, but that the game is still awesome regardless.

I'm definitely more excited for NGS2 (being that I'm already familiar with the series, I've already played the demo, and it's coming out here pretty soon), but I'm still interested in Bayonetta as well. It has an awesome pedigree (I love the Devil May Cry games), and the style is right up my alley.
Given the popularity of the consoles over there though, I'm surprised Platinum Games isn't even fully handling the PS3 version of the game. But I guess that should have been a given since I've heard a lot of people say that up until now they've only gotten hands-on with the 360 version.

Bayonetta has more ass, therefore win. While her design is interesting, her actual character doesn't appeal to me. Will wait for that one to hit the bargain bins, sorry Platinum.

Style-wise, Bayonetta looks ugly, but I think I'll have to take it all in. If I were to pick one to buy at $60, I think I'd still go with it. NG2 had some stupid design choices, like "cheap" enemies and a poor difficulty curve–and the new version doesn't say it has any fixes to that, as far as I've heard. And this is Kamiya's first true-blue 3D action game since DMC1, so I don't think he'd want to take any stops to make a great successor. So yeah, Bayonetta for me.
